Abstract:
Compares a group of familial and non-familial child sex offenders on a number of relationship dimensions thought to be important in explaining offending. No statistically significant differences were found between these groups on measures of general empathy, intimacy and loneliness, although non-familial offenders were found to have higher levels of cognitive empathy and a more internal locus of control.

Abstract:
Recently, sibling incest, a type of intrafamilial incest, has received notice from mental health professionals; however, many professionals still do not recognize the seriousness of the problem. This article reviews current research on the individual and family dynamics that allow sibling incest to occur, the effects of sibling incest on victims, and current treatment protocols.

Abstract:
A study compared 72 girls (ages 5-16) sexually abused by brothers, fathers, or stepfathers. Results suggested few differences in characteristics of sexual abuse. However, penetration was much more frequent in the sibling incest group. More victims of fathers and brothers manifested clinically significant distress (90%), than stepfather victims (63.6%).

Abstract:
The material in this book is intended to provide a review of information regarding child abuse prevention. It is divided into two sections. Part 1, The Facilitator's Guide, contains background information on child sexual abuse, with a particular emphasis on the dynamics of incest and other sexual abuse and their effects on the child. It presents a discussion of the philosophy of and need for primary prevention, and specific strategies used to prevent sexual abuse. Prevention educators and counselors are provided with ideas for setting up and implementing the complete program. Detailed outlines for parent and school staff workshops are included. Part 2, Curricula, contains detailed lessons for the two-session early education and elementary school workshops. The lessons can be used in sequence or as separate modules to allow greater flexibility for presenters. Seven appendixes list resources, references, videotapes, handouts, and additional readings.

Abstract:
Explores the prevalence of multiple abusers and polyincest in a clinical sample of 88 adult women. Results suggest the need for further research on the frequency of multiple abusers among victims of sexual abuse, as well as the ways in which family and social contexts serve as collusive environments for the practice of CSA.

Abstract:
Experiences relating to community, culture, and family need to be acknowledged as salient aspects of the experiences of women of color who are also incest survivors. Twelve participants were interviewed regarding their experiences related to disclosure and coping. Participants described value systems, community mindedness, social attitudes, negative consequences amongst other social and cultural issues as factors affecting incest disclosure.

Abstract:
Until recently, law enforcement and policymakers had few hard data on the child victims of sexual abuse, offenders, and other characteristics of these crimes on which to base a response. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), capturing a wide range of information on each sexual assault incident reported to law enforcement, can provide such information. Two research bases were extracted from 1991 through 1996 NIBRS master files, one summarizing information for the 60,991 victims of sexual assault, and the second compiling information for the 57,762 victim-identified offenders. The findings indicated that 67 percent of sexual assaults are against juvenile victims. Juvenile victims of sexual assault were more likely to be male (18 percent) than were adult victims (4 percent). Juvenile victims were more likely to be victimized with others (20 percent) than were adults (4 percent). Nearly 5 of every 6 sexual assaults of young juveniles occurred in a residence, whereas crimes against older juveniles and adults were more likely to occur elsewhere. Adults were the offenders in 60 percent of sexual assaults of youth under age 12. Rarely were the offenders strangers to the victims. Sexual assaults of children under 6 years were the least likely of all such crimes to result in arrest or be otherwise cleared. (The report concludes with a list of NIBRS definitions of forcible sex offenses. An appendix discusses difficulties in data analysis when the victim's perception of the offender's age may be reported as a point estimate or as a range.)
